I work remotely for one of those companies in the US that offers unlimited vacation time. As far as I can tell, it's a real thing - some of my coworkers have taken 30+ day vacations with no negativity from the rest of the team. I've never taken a long absence myself - I enjoy my daily work.

There is a very prominent disclaimer that any employee will tell you... "don't fuck up". That means...if you have a pending deliverable; don't vacation. If someone else is depending on you for their deliverable; don't vacation. Basically, support the company first and foremost and your extended absences are OK.

tldr; I work for a SDN provider with unlimited vacation and high expectations of employees
